sorry for the lack of caps, but just had carpal tunnel
surgery, and doing this the easiest way possible. maybe
i'm fortunate to have room for more then 1 pc. but
at least for me, the easy solution is to use an older
pc and just put dos on it, or 9x and reboot to dos
for trlog and other logging programs that are happier.
i have a p 120 and p 133 i use now. of course i
guess the reliability issue could bite me someday.
